Black Cat Rebellion was a punk rooted rock band formed in 2003 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Many comparisons have been made to their sound; including "77" punk, Rockabilly, Glam Punk, Psychobilly, and Deathrock. Some of their obvious influences may have been The Damned, The Cramps, Social Distortion, X, The Clash, Joan Jett, Generation X, and Chris Isaak. "Black Cat" featured musicians from The Cadavers, Blaster the Rocket Man, Phantom Cruisers, and the Scott & Aimee project featuring Scott Russo of Unwritten Law and Aimee Allen.
Dark and dangerous rock 'n' roll, Black Cat Rebellion created a sound that both swings and stomps. Founded by Brad St. Patrick (vocals and guitars), Rob Neutzman(bass), and Chris Grady(drums: 2004 and 2008) in late 2003, they blended their musical influences with a fun, untamed atmosphere and rebel romance. Milk (drums: 2006-2007) and D. Zaster(drums: 2005) also joined the ranks of the rebellion for their respected terms.
Never willing to compromise their sound to any current craze, they remained true to their own sound and audience. Black Cat Rebellion sustained the defiant spirit of the original roots of rock 'n' roll. From hard-luck fight songs to dark, outlaw love tunes, the soul of the group hit hard. Black Cat Rebellion will continue to cast a sick shadow on the planet of rock 'n' roll for years to come.
Accomplishments
They toured frequently from East to West coast across the USA. They have also appeared as the soundtrack to an episode on ESPN 2's "Hot Rod Trucks" show. Aside from their own tours, Black Cat played many Rockabilly and Deathrock festivals; including the Heavy Rebel Weekender, Cornerstone, and Drop Dead Festival. The rebel rockers had shot a video for "Gynophobia" for the "O.L.L.D." album. In print, the band also appeared in several magazines including
Loud, Fast, Rules.
Disbanded
Lack of label support and funds ultimately caused the band's demise, not to mention the bad luck the name seemed to carry with it. Broken hearted, the final line-up (same as the first) decided to hang up their title in 2008. Sad to say, new material had been left unrecorded.
